the debt ceiling there was pressure from the business community to get rid of this, like, idea that every six months we were going to be talking about potentially putting our nation into default. so, it seems like congress has been tone-deaf to that sort of call. >> just a little bit not too much. >> yeah. >> the last time the republicans looked like they were going down that road, that is not so much necessarily default but something else but they got a lot of pushback from wall street and corporate america that they typically pay attention to that said don't make this into an issue. they punted on it. they did that ridiculous thing instead of voting for an increase, they voted to ignore it which the democrats, if they would have done, they would have been pilloried for. but, i think the bigger point of what you are making is exactly right, which is if we are expecting any kind of stimulus coming out of washington giving what meredith covers and talks about every day, it's not going to happen any time soon. >> bill: this word "uncertainty." there is uncertainty in the business community?
